11 miles?!? Wow! So did you do these in normal shoes or your minimal shoes? How did your feet/legs feel?

Thanks Rachel! I was going to do my Nike Frees, but then thought it would be best to give my heel cords a little support on the hour long trek up the mountain LOL! So I wore my normal running shoes, but without the orthodics. My feet and legs feel great. :) Yay! I'm going to keep doing some barefoot work during the week, but I just can't get away from my normal runs!!

I'm glad to hear you still need those long runs :) I've wanted to 'start over' with some barefoot running and new form, but I'm unwilling to give up the long runs. Maybe I just have to get really injured :)

I love reading that you ran City Creek. I know that you have found a little piece of heaven there!!! :) :) :)

Love and miss you!

I'm so glad you were able to get out and enjoy a run! I hope everything feels good on Monday morning!
